TPS adjust question

I've tried to adjust my throttle position sensor and I've found out, that the end/start voltages are perfect. Only one question about voltage on second from the top connector: It gets max voltage (5.00V) way before WOT, probably on half open throttle - is that OK? The bottom connector has shown linear voltage from 0.4V to 4.3V, which is probably ok.

Actually this was one of my reference docs I printed before and for adjusting the tps. And it doesn't answer my question.

Maybe damian could help?

I've had the same problem, I was told the fix was to swap two of the wires in the connector around because they were placed wrong on some cars. I believe you put the one that is reading 5 volts at half throttle on the end two spots away.

This problem was throwing us guys running AEM EMS for a loop because we couldn't get our TPS settings right and it was causing a few annoying problems. But that wire fix is supposed to be fixing the problem. I haven't tried doing it myself yet, because I have everything out of the car and building it up, but I did try out 3 different tps's and all of them did the same thing, so we no it's not a tps issue.

That sounds REALLY strange.
I believe you put the one that is reading 5 volts at half throttle on the end two spots away.
Can you explain what exactly do you mean with these sentence? I have trouble understanding it...

So you think my tps connector has wrongly arranged wires? I find these really strange. But how can outgoing signal change, if I switch the wires? I think destination at the ecu will change, but not the signal - at least these sounds common sense to me...

To repeat the situation, the 'problem' I have is that narrow range (second from top, 3F ECU connector) shows maximum voltage at around half the throttle. Is this normal and it is supposed to be this way? Otherwise I get the right voltages at the closed and full throtlle as specified, it just bothers me because maximum voltage is achieved and sustained way before full throttle. Also, full range is ok, linear from closed to fully open throttle.

OK, my latest theory is that this is normal and it is supposed to be this way. This is what I found at Cirianis site:
Characteristics

* The throttle sensor has linear characteristics in both the narrow and full-ranges.

* The narrow range portion indicates full throttle opening when the throttle opening exceeds 40 degrees.
So I guess last sentence means it is ok to be in maximum voltage at 40% throttle? Probably that's way it's called narrow range

Can please someone confirm this, so I can stop bothering? Thx.

Did you try adjusting it so all are correct?

Nope, after I saw it all looks pretty good (expect for this question waiting to be answered), I didn't go to mess with unscrewing those little screws... And I was in a hurry also, so it got postpones until I get some answer about this quirt...

Didn't you get the memo about the TPS reports? Duh.

What TPS reports you're talking about? I have specified the reading from my TPS in my previous posts.

This is only what I have been told, I haven't had a chance to mess with it myself becuase my car is down for a new engine and a single.

But what I meant in that sentance, was to switch the second and forth wire on the connector. Here is the thread where we had problems with it.

I still need an answer from someone who has adjusted his tps, if my conclusions are for real...

I wouldn't mess with the wires till you loosen the screws and try adjusting it into the correct ranges.
